| Over het wijnhuis | Azelia is één van de toonaangevende wijnproducenten in de gemeente Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. In 2020 vierde het wijnhuis een indrukwekkend 100-jarig bestaan. Het wijnhuis wordt geleid door Luigi Scavino. Inmiddels is de vijfde generatie, in de vorm van zoon Lorenzo, ook betrokken bij alle aspecten van het wijn maken. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Cerretta in de comune (gemeente) Serralunga d’Alba in Barolo. De wijngaarden liggen op 355 meter boven zeeniveau en liggen op het zuiden en zuidwesten. De wijnstokken zijn ongeveer 30 jaar oud. De bodems zijn kalkrijk en bevatten veel klei. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten voor 55-60 dagen op een temperatuur van 31 graden Celcius, waarbij de druivenpulp naar beneden wordt geduwd voor een subtiele, zachte smaakextractie. De wijn rijpt vervolgens 30 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten (een combinatie van Slavonisch, Frans en Oostenrijks hout, in vaten van 25-50 hl). De wijn wordt niet gefilterd of geklaard. |
| Kleur | Granaatrood. |
| Geur | Zwarte kersen, wilde bessen, pruimen. Tonen van munt en salie. |
| Smaak | Krachtig en gracieus tegelijkertijd. Energiek. Een licht ziltige ondertoon. |
| Serveren bij | Lekker bij pasta met parmezaanse kaas en truffel. |
| Serveertemperatuur | 15-18 °C |

| Awards | "This is the second vintage of this new single-vineyard expression from Serralunga d'Alba. It is a family project that has been in the works for decades. This 3,500-bottle release of the Azelia 2017 Barolo Cerretta represents a firm and compact wine that sits tight on the palate. The hot vintage has developed a robust structure and power but has also subtracted from the wine's ruby color intensity. Indeed, its light garnet hue is deceptive once you consider the wine's substantial textural fiber and fruit intensity. There is sweet cherry and plum followed by candied orange peel and rusty iron ore. It should be fascinating to see how this wine evolves, as I imagine the tannins will become softer and pliant with time, but the wine's color will surely fade further. This cru is dedicated to the centennial anniversary of the estate." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Extremely aromatic with strawberries, flowers, and stones, following through to a full body with layers of fruit and round tannins that go on and on. Rich and opulent, yet polished and toned. A generous young Barolo. Drink in 2025." - James Suckling "The 2017 Barolo Cerretta is another powerful wine. Unlike the San Rocco, which is dense in the middle, the Cerretta is distinguished by a more austere, linear feel. Crushed flowers, mint, licorice, blood orange and pine build with time in the glass. The tannins are incisive at this stage, so a few years of cellaring is essential." - Vinous "We have waited for almost 30 years to vinify the single-vineyard Cerretta separately, in order to have older vines,' said fourth-generation owner, Luigi Scavino. The 2016 was first Ceretta to be released, followed up by this 2017. Bright ruby in colour, it has a restrained nose of smoky woodland, leather, violet, pomegranate and cherry. The ripe attack is almost fleshy, followed by assertive acidity and polished tannins which become chalky on the cherry kernel finish. Hidden power. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040" - Decanter "Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. A little stalky and reductive on the nose. A tiny bit grubby on the palate too and with notes of ripe fruit on the palate. Lacks a little in freshness." - 16,5/20, Jancis Robinson "Decadent cherry and currant aromas signal this vibrant, complex red, whose core of ripe fruit defines the palate, with supporting roles from eucalyptus, leather, licorice, tar and mineral. The tannins are dense and alive, while the finish goes on and on. Best from 2026 through 2050." - Wine Spectator 2 rode glaasjes Gambero Rosso over de 2016-vintage |
